Day 113

Well, talk about pulling one outta your ass.  Okay I know that's not REALLY funny but if you even knew the backstory which I will not share, it's REALLY, REALLY funny.  Anyway, bottom line, I was REALLY bad this week.   All week.  Did drink my water but not as much as I normally like to; though I got in eight 8 oz. glasses at least per day.  So all that said I am down 1+ lb this week.  I was shocked.  and it puts me under another 0.  By this Wed. I should be at -40 lbs.

About my poor eating this week, while I made several really BAD choices, I did balance that (if you will) by not eating some MR so it really ended up that maybe the calories in weren't over my usual daily total by much.  Considering that I didn't GAIN, I must have done 'something' right by trying to balance the bad with some good.

The bigger problem with all of this, is that I'm in dangerous territory because the reality of the LONG, LONG haul is setting in and I'm finding myself bored?   I know I have to do this a really long time.  :( :( :(  AND, I really have to exercise.  It just has to happen.  It's the only thing that's going to keep me moving forward.  To that end...

I promised my health coach I would walk one lap around the little walking path at the park and I did, I kept my promise.  It wasn't miserable but I definitely didn't enjoy it.  However, I am motivated to try again tomorrow. 

Health issues for the moment, I still really hurt all over.  My lower back has been killing me for the last week or so.  All my joints are so stiff and I just tend to ache all over.  :(   I suppose I'll need to run all this past my doctor who will just tell me to go get the bloodwork she's ordered twice over the last six months. 

Water today, 20 oz. plus 12 oz. of hot tea.  Will drink my 64 oz. by day's end, I just need to get on it!

Maybe next week I'll post another picture.

  1. Life is a long haul. You are just practicing for the battle. Consider these baby steps as preparation for boot camp, where you grab whatever demon is hiding in this weight and choke the life out of it.

    Heat the pool. Get some books on water aerobics and walk from side to side for 15 minutes, unwrapping this package of weight with each step until you are ready to deal with whatever really needs fixing.

  2. Well said. I like your analogy of unwrapping the package of weight. Never thought about each layer being about something different. Good thoughts.
